On two separate occasions during last night’s All-Star game, Chris Bosh found himself defensively isolated on the perimeter against Chris Paul and Tony Parker.

What’s the best way to follow up being fined $250,000 by the NBA for resting your starters in a prime-time matchup with the defending NBA champions? Probably not this? Okay, fair enough.

The little French tyke won a watch, so who cares if it’s not entirely fair that a 4-time NBA all-star took his half-court heave. Free watch!
